Migration Assistant from Time Machine not working, Migration Assistant from Time Machine not working

Hello,

A friend of mine recently bought a new Macbook Pro. I believe it is a 2.8 Ghz i7 model.

Anyway, they wanted to transfer all of their stuff from a 5 year old Macbook (running Snow Leopard) to their new Macbook Pro (running Lion) and they asked me for help. I suggested they run Migration Assistant from a Time Machine backup. They did that last night and everything ran fine until the very end, when they got this error message "Superdrive firmware Update 2.1 is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X." Also, it appears that nothing had been transfered.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
